Chapter 14

“I thought that you said you wanted nothing to do with him." Cameron says.

We stand outside his door while Brenna, Shawn, Carter, and Wesley are just on the other side.

“I know, man. It's complicated. But you're the only one who knows about Conall other than Babe, and like I said, she isn't here to watch him so I need you to. Please, just do me a solid."

“Alright man, alright. Chill out. I have no problem watching my nephew." He pauses, “But look Stella can't find out about the other night. I don't know what Babe was talking about, but she has no idea about what happened and I seriously don't want her to know."

I nod. I totally understand where he is coming from, but I don't get what he wants me to do about it, Babe  practically hates me right now, she hasn't talked to me since last night.

“Thank you Cam." I say one last time before turning around and jumping in my car.

I've been in the car for on my car for only a few minutes, I'm less than half way to Conall's when my phone rings.

I sigh of frustration.

It's probably Cameron canceling on watching Wes.

To my surprise I read Babe's name with a heart eye emoji next to it.

I try my hardest to contain my excitement.

I know she said that if she calls, not to answer the phone, but Wesley isn't with me and that's the perfect excuse to answer. 

I press the answer button and quickly put the phone to my ear.

“Hello?" I say as casually as possible.

There is a sigh of irritation on the other line. “I told you if I called to give the phone Wesley. I don't want to talk to you."

“I know." I tell her. “But Wes isn't with me right now."

“What? Where is he?" She demands.

“Its okay, he's just with Cameron."

“Of course he is. I've been gone for a little less than twenty-four hours and you're already pawning him off to your siblings." She huffs.

I sigh.

This is a worse plan than what I thought it would be.

“Babe, it is nothing like that. I literally was with him all day." I explain.

“Oh, great for you Nash, you spent a whole day with your son." She says sarcastically. “Where are you going now that is so important?"

She has no idea how hard I'm trying right now and it's been only a day. I'm human, I can only change so much about myself in such little time.

I stay silent.

“Oh my God." She says. “You're going to see a girl aren't you? Is it the same girl from the bar? How long have you been seeing her--"

“No, no. It's nothing like that."

“Then what are you doing out at this time?!"

“Looking for you!" I lie. “Looking for you because I love and care about you. Because I don't like it when you're not home."

“Well give up, because I'm not even in town."

“You're not in--" I sigh, gathering my thoughts and try my hardest not to scream at the top of my lungs, telling her to get her ass back home. “Babe, please come home to your son and I." I say as calmly as possible.
